Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 5:26 pm A question..... I gather from some comments here that PCGS will not give a clean grade to a lacquered coin. Question: if lacquer is expertly removed, will PCGS still reject it as some kind of cleaned coin? There was a knowledgable poster here a couple of years ago, whose name I have forgotten, who was of the view that lacquer could be safely removed through evaporation using acetone in a pressurized vessel. Does anyone know if anything ever came of this idea? Report this Post to the Staff
